New light weight sleeping bag??
Don't get me wrong, the WM bags are the better bags, but the gap is relatively small.- amo16

Purpose of Long Range Finders?
It's pretty well been covered, but I've used them to help determine if a stalk is even viable. An example would be to range a bear on a distant hillside and find out it's 2500 yards away with a lot of elevation change with less than an hour of shooting light left. I use OnX for this too, but... -

Another Bino Opinion Thread
I've looked through a lot of different glass and I haven't seen any $300-500 glass that compares to the stuff you can get for about 1k. Of the ones you listed I'd get the Meopta Meostars hands down. For basically the same price you can get Zeiss Conquests, which are very good optically at that... -

New light weight sleeping bag??
Those Stone Glacier bags are up there with Western Mountaineering IMO. I'd probably own one or both of their bags if they didn't only make them in a long.- amo16

2020 Spring Bears Thread
Was out the last 2 days and couldn't turn up a bear for the life of me. The hiking activity has really picked up in the area and the sightings have really decreased. Going to try some other spots next weekend.- amo16

Just got down off the mountain. Saw a chocolate sow with a cub. Probably won't get out again until the late part of the coming week.- amo16

2020 Spring Bears Thread
Glassed up what appeared to be a very large boar tonight. He was too far to make a stalk on with the light fading. Going to reposition myself tomorrow and try to make it happen.- amo16

2020 Spring MT Bear
I'm in the Bozeman area and would definitely go out with you sometime if you'd like. Not too experienced hunting bears in the area, but I've been out a little over the last couple years.- amo16

Which Tripod Should I Buy (Poll)
The Vortex tripods are not very good. Look at the compact carbon fiber one from Field Optics Research with the head of your choice. Lightweight and pretty well built. -

Montana Rifle Co. is shut down
I think most of their issues stemmed from customer service. Generally speaking they put out a pretty decent rifle, but when they didn't they were slow to fix the problems. This has been my first hand experience with them, plus is pretty much echoed by my dealer and there are an unusual number of... -

Montana Rifle Co. is shut down
I have owned a couple and still have an X3 in .300 WSM. The rifles themselves have been great but they were by far the worst company I've ever had to deal with in terms of customer service. I won't waste the time of going into details, but bottom line is it took about 4 months of constant calls... -

6.5 PRC Christensen Arms Mesa Vs Browning X-bolt Hells canyon
I've got a couple Mesas and highly recommend them. They're both about 1/2 MOA guns. That said you're looking at 2 very different types of guns. -

How careful are you with scope mounting?
One of the things I don't see listed is degreasing everything before mounting. To me, along with pretty much everything else listed, that's mandatory. -

Need help with choice of weapon
What and where are you hunting? I agree that the cartridges listed will handle most anything. If you're regularly hunting moose and are in griz country I'd opt for something in .30-06 out of the cartridges you listed, but there probably isn't a wrong choice. -

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Here's my 2019 MT archery bull. It was a miserable packout and I swore I was getting llamas afterwards. I now have llamas. -

moving to BOZEMAN
Welcome. You'll love it here. All you need for is some documentation to show that you live here. Go talk to the people at FWP after you get here and see what they say. If you have a lease agreement or closing paperwork on a house that will do. You will have to change your drivers license before...
